Cowie: Three Quartets & A Solo

Kreutzer Quartet

MSV 28603

Edward Cowie is one of the most individual and notable voices in contemporary music – which he sees as both conscious and unconscious sensitivity to sound. Highly inspired by Nature and our world, he works with sound, colour, order and disorder, shape, pattern and form which he sees a part of a grand unification of sensual input. As an acclaimed and successful visual artist, he creates drawings to visualise his subject matter before composing. His music is not however ‘filmic’ or directly impressionistic but draws from the essence of nature, wildlife and the seasons to create his unique soundworld. • The Kreutzer Quartet is one of the most accomplished and creative ensembles in the UK and is acclaimed for its adventurous programming of both the music of our time and the great quartet heritage of the past. It has been the recipient of works from many of today’s pre-eminent composers, and has performed around Europe as well as at its ‘home base’ ofWilton’sMusic Hall in London. The quartet has recorded a substantial number of albums for Métier as well as Chandos, Naxos, NMC, Toccata and several other labels.
